The Best in Sony Ericsson Mobile Phones

April 9th, 2010



Most of us are familiar with Sony Ericsson mobile phones either from personal use or online information Sony Ericsson is a huge manufacturer of mobile phones and has a good bit of the UK market. While other manufacturers are looking to improve their camera phones, Sony Ericsson has an entire line of music phones. The “W” series (formerly the “K” series) has a variety of capabilities and most of the Walkman phones have storage capabilities of 500 full length songs or more with expansion memory cards available to add more memory.

One problem with the Walkman mobile phones is that in most of them the camera has poor to mediocre clarity. The emphasis is on the music rather than the phone with some customers questioning why they cannot have a high quality music and camera phone within the same mobile phone. It appears Sony Ericsson is forcing its customers to choose high quality music or a high quality camera instead of providing both in the same mobile phone.

In spite of its lack of marketability for a high quality camera and music phone, Sony Ericsson maintains a high position in the UK mobile phone market. Most customers make the choice between either the camera or the music and live with their decision. They become lackadaisical and accept they are not going to have both sharp pictures and great music quality on the same mobile phone.

On the other hand, Sony Ericsson has a good reputation for quality mobile phones in the areas for which they were intended. Sony Ericsson mobile phones provide service that is equal to models that are higher priced, so you are always getting more for your money when you buy a Sony Ericsson mobile phone. You may remember when AT&T began giving the Ericsson phones away with its tariffs in the early part of the 21st century. They were the first flip phones that gained any momentum, but they were bulky little things that were difficult to read and even more difficult to operate. The merger with Sony created a new line of mobile phones that were easier to operate and came with a music player.

Many people tend to look at the Sony Ericsson mobile phones solely because of their music capabilities-using the phone is secondary to having good music when on the road or outside in the yard. Although the phones’ sound quality for telecommunications is equivalent to other manufacturers’, it would be a mistake to choose a mobile phone based on nothing more than belief in the name. You must look at the name and read reviews of others who have owned the mobile phone you wish to purchase.

Sony Ericsson has an abundance of mobile phones to fit anyone’s needs and desires. Whether you want a camera phone, a music phone or just a mobile phone in order to maintain communication with family and friends, Sony Ericsson has it for you at a price you can afford.

Sony Ericsson W910i Black Joins The W910i Red In The New Walkman Range

January 4th, 2010



The Walkman phone range from Sony Ericsson originally took its name from before the merger of the two companies when Sony was manufacturing high quality portable music devices such as the first portable CD players. The name became synonymous with top end music entertainment devices and so after the merger Sony Ericsson have continued to use this branding to their advantage.

The first Walkman phone was originally released over four years ago and caused a big stir in the mobile phone market, consumers had been privy to phones with integrated music software but not on the same scale as was being offered by the Walkman range.

The emphasis was on high quality music playback with graphic equalisers, bass boost, playlist creation and randomised shuffle which altogether enhanced the listening experience. Users were able to arrange their music tracks into different genres, tempos and mood types to suit the situation as well as store more and more songs with the advent of expandable memory with the use of MicroSD cards and Sony Ericsson memory sticks.

New features were continually added to the Walkman phone range including TrackID, a useful service for any music buff. The software was able to record a few seconds of music, send it to a centralised recognition database via text messaging and send back the exact details relating to the song including artist and song name. This proves very useful when out in venues that have DJs, users can simply record the music around them rather than having to push through and ask the DJ which track they are playing.

Walkman phones continued to develop and more recent models now features a new technology called ‘Shake It’, the user can now shuffle tracks by simply holding down a dedicated button and physically shaking the handset, a new random picked track is then played and the process can be repeated until a relevant song is found.

The new Sony Ericsson W910i features all of the software, features and technology of past models but now combines 3G technology onto the mix. This allows for fast connections to the mobile internet and download speeds far faster than previous technologies like GPRS and EDGE. 3G technology opens up further doors for the Walkman software as the user can now quickly log onto the internet and choose from thousands of new music tracks before downloading them directly to the handset and organising them into playlists. The user can still connect with a PC as before but 3G makes this task far quicker and easier.

3G also allows for face to face video calling so users can actually see as well as hear the person they are talking with plus with 3G services the user has access to new mobile content such as ringtones, video clips and new graphics as well as the latest news and sports headlines, new movie trailers and the music tracks before they are released.

The W910i Black holds exactly the same specifications as the other colour variants in the range which includes 2.0 megapixel camera with flash, zoom and video support, an FM Radio, a 1GB memory stick, Bluetooth technology and USB connection.

The Sony Ericsson W910i represents the very best that the Walkman range of phones has to offer with new features and software packages, the handset is definitely aimed at the music and entertainment loving mobile phone user who can appreciate the flexibility and personalization that the phone has to offer.
